How do you follow up the biggest horror movie ever? Make the evil dancing clown really mad.

After Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard) was defeated by the youngsters of the Losers’ Club in 2017’s hit adaptation of Stephen King’s It , he returns yet again to Derry, Maine, to haunt his now-grown-up foes in It: Chapter Two, which opens in US cinemas on September 6.

While the first trailer offers us some creepy glimpses at Pennywise, it mostly features one seriously freaky old lady.

A grown-up Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain, taking over for Sophia Lillis) comes back to her childhood home and finds an elderly woman there, who offers her tea. Let’s just say the beverage is the only soothing part of their encounter.

Though the young actors from the first It return for the sequel, the first footage from the highly anticipated film showcases the adult versions of their characters.
